Description: Billy Joel “Allentown" live from A Matter of Trust - The Bridge to Russia Listen to Billy Joel: billyjoel.lnk.to/listenYD In the summer of 1987, Billy Joel accepted the Kremlin’s invitation to the U.S.S.R. for six fully-staged rock shows in Moscow and Leningrad, fulfilling a longtime desire to perform in Russia and permanently affecting the spirit of the country ahead of the Soviet Union’s dissolution in 1991.
